RNY tommorow :) EEEK little scared i will admit.
So Sept 10th is my day to join the bench, tommorow at HRRH with Dr Hagen my life changes.
Just wanted to say thanks to the community here at OH, without you i would not have the knowledge , support or strength to proceed.
I'm 258.4 lbs this morning from a all time high of 280 and down 15 pounds on two weeks of pre op diet(Thanks choc opti i will miss you!)

You will do great!
Dr Hagan is my doc also.. I haven't had my date yet. But I have faith in his skill and talent.
Thx for the continued support, looking back it seems like time went quickly,. Considering my orig referral went in Feb 2011! Hard to believe it's been 2.5 years
Wow Kb, you've done amazing to get down to 258.4lbs.
Would it help you to read my (lengthy) account of my experience from arrival at TEGH to after my discharge? I pull out my bookmarked URL when someone mentions being a bit apprehensive pre-op - http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/ON/4612953/My-Surgery-Went -Really-Well/#communityupdates:0
I was scared too, but that's only normal.
I wish you an uncomplicated surgery and a speedy recovery! See you soon on the bench!
